Hinduism: An Inclusive Philosophy
Varun Aggarwal
The session starts with reflections on ‘What is Hinduism?’ and argues that the tradition warrants a personal inquiry. We starting with a question, building hypothesis to answer it, iterating to fix logical inconsistencies, till we reach a point, where we have an inclusive theory. In the process, we will have covered the theory of Karma, some ideas of Buddhism and Gita, Dualism and Non-Dualism.

Hinduism: The practices (Multiple Speakers)
Multiple Speakers
Hinduism fosters many different practices. An unbiased way to look into these is to hear it from the practitioner himself/herself. We will have multiple speakers come up and tell what they take-back from Hinduism and apply in their routine life.
